José Luis Ablanedo Iglesias (pronounced as /es/; born 22 August 1962) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a central defender.
Born in Mieres, Asturias, Ablanedo played the vast majority of his career with local Sporting de Gijón, making his senior debut whilst still a junior in a Copa del Rey match against amateurs CD Turón in November 1980.[1] He spent several years with the reserves in the lower leagues, and played his first La Liga game with the main squad on 22 April 1984 in a 3–0 away loss against Real Betis.[2]
Ablanedo was definitely promoted to the first team for the 1985–86 season, and contributed a career-best 43 matches and four goals as Sporting finished in fourth position the following campaign. He spent 1991–92 on loan to RCD Español also in the top flight,[3] and retired with his main club in June 1994 at age 31.[4]
Ablanedo's younger brother, Juan Carlos, was also a footballer. A goalkeeper, he played solely for Sporting, and they were hence known as Ablanedo I and Ablanedo II.[5]
